“You can spend more money on us at a slightly less insanely inflated cost that is still extremely profitable for us.”

By the time we’re at that level, we can just stop pretending money is real.

It certainly won’t mean anything to an actual AI.

Roko’s Basilisk is stupid.

It presumes three things.

1. That human beings are logical and that they do anything with intention. For the vast majority of people, this is patently false.

2. That a super intelligence sees revenge as an efficient use of scarce resources, which given both that revenge is nonsensical without the prerequisite biological need for it, and the conclusion of ‘1’, is nonsensical.

3. That even if 1 and 2 were real, that there’s some inherent timeframe in which the AI thinks it should have been created.

The only real bodily danger of AI is inherent in the the humans who control it.

“No algorithm. Every post. Unfiltered. In chronological order.”

The IDEA is great. The man who sold it to them is a known con-artist and liar and they had no shortage of warning before they got in bed with him.

Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

If your story starts with “I believed in Musk’s vision” or “I voted for Trump” or some other asinine bullshit that everyone with a brain stem was telling you was stupid 10 years ago, you can take your sympathy fishing with you all the way to bankruptcy court.

I hope your kids watch and internalize what a loser their parent is.

The implication that something that creates something else is superior to the thing it creates is a fallacy. There is no inherent relationship between them whatsoever - it is only measurable via direct measurement of performance. The claim that “humans created the Go engine makes them superior” is exactly the same amount of logically incorrect as the “it’s a machine so it’s superior” claim.

If your claim that creating something means superiority held true, Lebron James’ dad must be better than him at basketball. And I know that’s a ridiculous claim. But it’s logically equivalent to your own.

By that logic all children are inferior to their parents, and therefore the greatest of us is… Oog the caveman.

It’s okay. Now that AI can do all the jobs the population crisis is over.

Now everybody get dying!

“closer to the opposite” is a funny way of saying “the opposite”

I don’t see any difference, personally.

Tale as old as time with tech… still waiting on that chat interoperability!

What a day to know how to read.

That’s what I said.

Different medical culture, I guess. People here go over much more easily.

Good thing too. A friend of mine jammed her finger playing volleyball once and I thought she was nuts to go to the hospital, but it turned out she needed a surgical adjustment and if she hadn’t gone it would’ve wound up healing in a way that would’ve permanently affected her dexterity.

Depending on your age, it’s ABSOLUTELY life changing. If you’re 20, drop it into an index fund, and most likely you’ll never have to save another dime for retirement for the rest of your life.

The trauma follows you.

I left the US years ago and people still look at me like I’m insane when I catch a cold and I don’t go to the doctor.

I drove 40 minutes to the hospital once after an injury, and people thought I was insane for not calling an ambulance.

It’s not supposed to be sustainable. If you have ANY slack whatsoever you gain leverage against the oligarch class.
